Old London Shop

A personal project I started several months ago. Work and other projects pulled me away from it. I thought it would be good to get back to it and try to finish. I was doing research on pre-1900's architecture and this one caught my eye. I was compelled to try and recreate it in Silo. This is not exact but I took some elements from other photos of shops to use in this (such as the square columns on the corner).

Now that I have the shop mostly done, except for some errors and adding details, I can move on to doing the apartments beside it and above.

Testing out materials...what a mess.

Had some time from a long project to update the building. Still need to fix the sidewalk and do a small bit of modeling before I continue to the final unwrapping.

Testing out a brick material on this update. Still need to fix the street and walks along with a few other building changes and fixes. It may be ready for final uv mapping.

I'll have to redo the sidewalks and street and probably the steps. The shop cornice may need to be redone, too.

Small update to the windows, doors, added a few things and I have to fix a few problems with the street and the sidewalk.
